The Seattle Sounders have signed Nouhou to a multi-year extension, Sounder at Heart has learned. Niko Moreno first reported the deal on Tuesday morning.
Nouhou was slated to become a free agent at the end of 2026 season, but this will keep him under club control likely through the 2028-29 season.
The defender is coming off an up-and-down season in which he played a career-high 40 matches across all competitions for the Sounders, but also was ejected three times. He had only been red-carded once in his first eight seasons with the Sounders.
But over the offseason, Nouhou re-asserted himself on the international stage by not only starting all five of Cameroon’s Africa Cup of Nations matches, but serving as the captain. He has now started nine straight times for Cameroon, going the full 90 minutes in all but one match.
